A heavy, rounded sans with compact counters and a dense, blocky color. Strokes are largely monolinear but show subtle, organic irregularities along the edges, giving the outlines a printed or hand-cut feel. Terminals are blunt and softly rounded, and curves (C, G, O, S) stay broad and sturdy with minimal finesse. The lowercase is simple and single‑storey where expected, with small apertures and tight interior spaces that reinforce the bold, poster-like rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where strong impact and a tactile look are desired: posters, bold headlines, packaging, labels, and branding marks. It can work for short bursts of copy in larger sizes, but the tight apertures and heavy ink gain make it less ideal for extended reading at small text sizes.
The overall tone is warm, playful, and slightly rugged, like a bold headline set with a handmade stamp or brushy print. It reads as approachable rather than technical, with a nostalgic, craft-forward character that feels casual and energetic.
Designed to deliver maximum presence with friendly, rounded geometry while adding a deliberate handmade/printed texture for personality. The aim appears to be a bold display sans that feels approachable and imperfect in a controlled way, lending character to simple shapes without relying on decorative add-ons.
Letterforms show intentional unevenness in contour and width, creating a lively texture across lines of text. Round characters and figures (0,6,8,9) are especially weighty, while diagonals (V,W,X,Y) remain thick and stable, maintaining consistent impact. At smaller sizes, the tight counters may reduce clarity, but at display sizes the texture becomes a defining feature.
